The liver produces, stores and releases glucose depending on the bodyâs need for glucose, a monosaccharide. This is primarily indicated by the hormones insulin - the main regulator of sugar in the blood - and glucagon. In fact, the liver acts as the bodyâs glucose reservoir and helps to keep your circulating blood sugar levels and other body fuels steady and constant.
